So out of curiosity what did you expect Jed to do regarding Kaepernick, tried by the media for raping a girl when he wasn't even in the house? McDonald? Oh those charges were dropped as well. How you can even spin the ridiculous media-created fantasy of our offseason into blaming the owner is a total mystery. Neither you nor I know that truth behind the media allegations of a war between Harbaugh and Baalke and both have spoken out against it. But I guess you would prefer to believe the myth creators in the media despite their record of inventing slander.
Smith was the only offseason issue and for that the blame needs to rest with the player not the owner.
I assume the man in the trenches responsible for the turnaround of the team, who you blame Jed for not paying, is Harbaugh? You are aware that the negotiations were shelved at Harbaughs request to prevent them being an issue during the season? He also still has another year left on his contract.
And finally, I intend to sit here and tell you that most of the media circus could not have been prevented by anyone who has anything to do with the team. There are some poisonous reptiles pretending to be journalists out there who have their hooks in the team. A few checks would show you how little of the garbage they print turns out to be true.
I am aware of all that as well as the Ann Killion,Lowell Cohn and Tim Kawakami's of the world who create hype to sell papers.It was also a mutual decision between Harbaugh and Jed to shelve those talks.My point on that is we were the laughing stock of the league with a quarterback who was an absolute joke at the time and this coach comes in and turns you into a powerhouse with 3 straight championship games in a row.Yet you sit there and say not good enough.He should have gotten a new contract after his second season as coach.As far as the players it's been incident after incident.Did you forget Chris Culliver with the hit and run and brass knuckles? Kilgore? And Ray Mcdonalds case? A little sketchy: http://deadspin.com/da-memo-in-ray-mcdonald-case-shows-how-cop-worked-as-49-1656872780
When you have mulitple police related incidents at your company you need to put an end to it or attempt to as CEO(suspensions,loss of pay,something).If you don't believe in your coach replace him with who you think will do what you want don't just sit there and let him dangle and let the media sharks create a frenzy and cause distractions.
